When you were a kid, What did you want to be when you grew up?

I changed my mind a lot, but I wanted to be a paleontologist and a cash register. I meant a cashier, but I insisted it was called a cash register. High hopes, I know.

I wanted to be a stay at home mom, a rock star or a hairdresser. I'll get to be a stay at home mom for a year while on mat leave...but other then that my life has gone in a different direction and I can't imagine not working or going to school....even if I don't go back to work full time I will go back to work in some capacity.

I wanted to be a lawyer and even started off college for that. However I realized I wasn't as interested in it as I thought.

I went in this direction for a little too but quickly realized that it's not at all what I want to do.

I wanted to be a photographer for a long time and then I got interested in criminal forensics and my dad had a friend who was a US Marshal who suggested I do forensics but then I decided I couldn't be surrounded by death and sadness all the time so I decided to become a doctor. My life took a much different turn

Becoming independently wealthy is still my main career goal.

Depending on the age I wanted to be a lawyer, photographer for NatGeo and a nurse.
